THE treasury vaults OF the gov
eminent overlooking with money
and it keeps flowing in. 1t is IA ques-
ton as to what will be done with so
much cash. There is no decrease in
taxation, and as the government
does not need so much money it has
no right, whatever 70 hold it and
collect more. The New York Her
aid says
Mr.. Henry Watterson is quite
right in saying that something must
be done at the next session of Con-
gress to materially reduce the sur
plus. And the more emphasis one
can put on the word must the
better for the country. 1t is the
big problem of the hour, and both
the problem and the surplus are
growing bigger every month. There
is no use in blinking the fact that
treasury vaults filled with money
which the government has no right
to are a crying and demoralizing
evil. They have already given rise
to all sorts of schemes on the part OF
political adventures and impractical
bles. Every conceivable method Of
disposing of the surplus has beer
suggested, but what is wanted is &
practical method Of stopping it
further accumulation. There is lit
tie use in lading out n pond wher
you can stop the inflow by damminl
up the river. This money SHOULD
lie left in the hands of the peopl
from whom it is wrongfully taken
and legislation fails to hit the mari
until that end is accomplished. TIL,
government has no claim to the frac
tional part of dollar over AM
above the cost of running it in al
economical way. To continue, there
fore, the demand for more none
than it can rightly use-mone
which it does not know what to d
with after it gets it's rank injustiC
to the business interests of the cour
try and should not be longer toleri
ted.
